Chapter 7

30 MINUTES LATER~DINNING ROOM

"Woah!!! This is so so good!!"Ava gushed the moment she tasted the roast lamb.

"You like it?"Hardin asked with a smile and she nodded before eating More.

"Annoying!"Oliver uttered with an eye roll as he feasted on his Meal.

Lavender smiled and moved her hand towards Hardin's thighs, she began caressing it slowly with her eyes fixed on her Meal too.

Hardin looked at her hand which was on his lap, before looking at her, but she was busy eating like she wasn't doing anything.

He sighed and removed her hand from his thigh, lavender turned to him with pouted lips.

"Daddy feed Mommy!!"Ava shouted and all eyes widened.

"Huh? A.. Ava?"

"Please, daddy!! Please please please please, just this once huh? Please please!!"Ava kept begging, while Hardin and Lavender stared with wide eyes, Oliver's grip tightened on the fork he was holding.

Lavender's heart was bubbling with great happiness, but she masked it up with a shocked expression.

"Daddy!! Won't you do this for me? Is it too bad between you and Mom?"Ava continued and Hardin sighed before grabbing a roast lamb, he pushed it into Lavender's mouth and almost choked cuz of it, Oliver chuckled lowly and continued eating while Ava frowned deeply.

"That's a No!"She retorted and Hardin gasped.

"You almost choked her, she's your wife, Dad, try to be romantic for once. Or wait, is it a crime?"She blinked and Lavender smiled while Oliver continued frowning.

"Okay fine!!"Hardin groaned and made to pick the roast lamb for the second time when Ava grabbed his hand.

"What?"

"More romantic way Daddy, by that.. I mean, mouth-to-mouth feeding!!"She whispered and Hardin's eye grew wide.

He cleared his throat and sat properly on his chair.

"I don't understand what you're saying"He replied with an eye roll and Ava laughed.

"Seriously you don't know about that? Well, it simply means that you'd take the roast lamb, put it in your mouth and feed Mom through your mouth" She replied with a smile.

"What?"Both Lavender and Hardin shouted while the fork fell off Oliver's hand in shock.

"What?"Both Lavender and Hardin shouted while the fork fell off Oliver's hand in shock.

"Like, why would a five-year-old brat say something like that?'

"C'mon Daddy" Ava urged again and Lavender's cheeks reddened as her eyes met with that of Hardin's own. By now, Oliver has picked his fork from the floor and he continued eating not giving a damn about what they were doing.

Hardin slowly picked up the roast lamb again and ate from it but not all. Readily, he leaned closer to Lavender and collided his lips on hers, passing it into hers.

Lavender made sure she seized the moment to insert her tongue into his mint-tasty mouth. Hardin gasped lowly when he felt her savouring his lips and he quickly broke it.

"That was sweet" Lavender complimented, biting her lips hard and Hardin swallowed.

He couldn't bear one minute in here anymore, if he kept doing this then he could get into trouble.

He glanced at Oliver who was already feeling tired and ready to go to bed before looking at Lavender.

"Um... Ava, we need to hold back to something now"

"Huh? Daddy please don't go.. stay with me tonight" Ava started crying.

"You're being clingy Ava! Daddy has work to do" Lavender interrupted.

"I'm more important! Please don't go, Daddy! Please! Please!" She cried out. Hardin tried calming her down but it wasn't working at all.

"Fine, Daddy is gonna stay with you tonight" He forced out a smile.

"Yaaaaaaa!!!!!" She screamed, climbing his body. He chuckled cutely as he hugged her. He faced Lavender and when he made to speak, she spoke first.

"Oliver is gonna sleep in the other room, it isn't any problem" She interrupted with a silly smile.

"Thank you" He nodded and started walking towards Ava's room.

•MIDNIGHT•

Hardin was reading the fifth storybook when he felt Ava's snores on his chest. She was already asleep.

"Finally" He exhaled, adjusting properly to lay on the bed before covering her with the duvet.

He stood up after pecking her forehead, he made to walk out of the room when the door came open.

There she was. Standing there and looking tempting was Lavender.

Hardin eyes slide from the see-through nightgown she was wearing to her glowing face.

She was gorgeous. How can a billionaire woman lack the love of a man?

"Uh..." He coughed and She chuckled, giving way for him to go out of Ava's room. and she closed the door before turning to face him.

"So, where are you gonna sleep now?" She asked.

"It's fine, I'll just use the couch" He objected and she nodded.

", Perhaps, we could have a little drink?" She offered.

"It's late already, go to bed" He muttered, walking away to the living room.

Lavender bit her index finger before going to the glass stand. She brought a bottle of vodka and two glass cups before walking to where he saw her sitting.

"I said..."

"You talk too much, a drink won't make you go insane or crazy" She cut him off and he sighed.

"Fine, you won" He replied and she laughed as she poured the drink into the cups.

She handed one to him and they cheered before starting to drink.

He has only taken one shot but She was in her fourth round, laughing crazily continuously.

"You're drunk" He said and she laughed again.

"No way, I'm not" She replied and made to drink the fifth round but he grabbed the bottle and cup from her.

"Huh? Give it back!! Back!!" She kept laughing, looking so drunk in her state.

Hardin exhaled loudly, he slowly carried her despite she was quite heavy and started walking to her room.

He got in and walked to the fancy big bed. He dropped her gently on the bed, arranging the strings of hair that was on her face.

For a moment, he felt lost in her world. Even though it was wrong he felt himself getting more attracted to her.

He wanted to stand upright to leave when she pulled his hands making him fall on top of her, her eyes drifting open. She was still so drunk yet she could see him.

Their face were inches closer to each other and their hot breath was fanning them.

"Yunno I tried not to fall for you..." She trailed.

"But I couldn't stop myself, I fell hard for you Hardin Myers " She continued and he blinked again.

She placed her hands on his face and slowly started rubbing his cheeks, subconsciously, tears started falling out of her eyes.

"But I can't have you" She sniffed. He leaned backwards but she pulled closer again. Her lips arching to be kissed.

"We can't do this" He whispered and that was when she finally pressed her lips to his, kissing him tenderly.

He couldn't resist this time, she was looking so hot and tempting that he couldn't let her go. He bit her lips hard and she gasped, giving him access to her mouth. He pushed his tongue in and she climbed her hands around his neck, reciprocating the kiss.

It was incredible and neither of them was ready to stop. He savoured her cherry lips while she kept feasting on his lips. He made sure to kiss her so deeply, mixing his saliva with hers. They both had a vodka taste and it was so sweet.

She broke the kiss gently to catch her breath whilst staring at him.

"I'm sorry... We shouldn't be doing this" He said, avoiding her gaze as he quickly stood up.

"Go to sleep please" He muttered and finally left the room.

"Goodnight Hardin
